Salt & Humor

I have too much to blog about and I think I have officially fallen behind.  I randomly took some fun photos over the last three weeks but certainly never got around to blogging about it.  I have no idea where time goes.  No, honestly, I really don’t.  It seemed I was anxious for the Holidays [...]

A while ago I cooked a buttercup squash and discovered that two out of the three kitties liked it.  I wasn’t actually planning to give them some because if you know one thing about cats, it is that they are finicky eaters.  Well, when I took it out of the oven and was scraping away [...]

Today I picked up wild, local chanterelle mushrooms.  This would be our first time trying them and I am so glad we did.  I had a new tempeh to fix and thought I would go with the flavor of it and make a curry dish. sweet onions, garlic, zucchini, green beans, tempeh, curry powder, chanterelle [...]

Very often it seems that my kitties want to be included in the photos I take.  I suppose that when I crouch down to take photos they might become curious and feel the need to investigate.  That, or they just really want to make it into the shot.  Let me assure you that I am [...]

Yesterday I did a little bit of shopping.  I ended up going to a great Asian supermarket for kabocha squash, hijiki and kombu.  The only seaweed I have really eaten is nori with sushi.  A few recipes I want to make from The Kind Diet call for hijiki and kombu.  There are some amazing produce [...]

Bittersweet is the first day of Fall.  The Summer is over, days get shorter and no more garden fresh tomatoes. However, in comes the pumpkins, winter squash, turning leaves and comfort food.  When I think of Fall comfort food, I think of soups, chili and pasta. Veggie Soup: potato, carrot, celery, golden beet, kale, green [...]

Why is it that some of the best meals look awful?  Sometimes, by the time I stir my salads up they look pretty weird.  Then I say, “that was the best salad ever!” Well, with a bit of a bloggers block, looking through recent photos to make a semi-decent post this morning, I noticed that [...]

This tulip seems to be out pretty early this year.  Oh, well, I am not complaining.  Tulips are for sure, one of my favorite flowers. I have a few random eats to catch up on. Just haven’t been making fun meals and taking good photos lately, I guess.  No worries though, I have a few [...]

Did you think I forgot all about blogging? Well, I pretty much did.  I left for Reno last Wednesday and returned last night.  I had a wonderful visit with family and friends! It was a good break from blogging, but nontheless, I am stoked to be back! I was not diligent as to photo all [...]

Skipped the coffee this morning and replaced it with some juice.  I swear, it gives you the same feeling, only better. That is really a monster carrot! They are Italian carrots-cool huh. I made oats before my workout so they would be ready after. I have really been enjoying making overnight oats (no-cook), this was [...]

Yes, Happy.  I hope you are all happy.  I can complain and find negative in the everyday…whatever, whoever.  Gal, why do we do that! Lets just all be happy. We have so much to be happy about.  I will not bore you with all that I am happy for.  I did get this sweet thank [...]
